Totally agree with you Andreas Hansson. I remember reading a fantastic a article about The prodigy in a Copy of NME. This very experienced American music journalist actually described Liam Howlett as a modern day Mozart! 😮👌😎👊👏🎹🎵🎶
People don’t realise that when they released ‘Fat Of The Land’ the Prodigy were one of the biggest bands/groups in the world.It went to number one in loads of countries.For a dance band that started off as underground to cross over to the mainstream and not really conform & ‘play the game’..that is incredible.No-one could lay a glove on them between 95-98 as a live act..simply amazing.
he did eventually conform to mainstream with all the next albums that came after. Luckily with the last one he went back to where it ended, at least partially.
Was hearing this group live on radio 1 live when they played at Glastonbury. When I was just 15. I feel in love with them. I'm 42 now. Best group EVER! Rip Keith 😢
I mean the guy came up with shit in his bedroom at a young age then became part of a global phenomena. Can't take it away from these guys they are god damn legendary.
It's legendary music like this that rattled and shook my car to pieces...not joking. At age 17 drove around hackney, Finsbury park..my hood..my car literally shook, had to get my mirrors and windows reset and tightened every now and then..best days ever!
undiluted Prodigy. Still half a psychotic rave act. Half about to become the greatest cross over act ever. Keef not quite Firestarter but getting there. What a special performance.
I was there. When Keef came out in the bubble everyone went mental. Total rock star. I seem to remember him falling off the stage too. Didn’t see it on here. The mind plays tricks. You play tricks back.
Ah wow fair play to you Tim. Been a huge fan since my Older brother introduced to their music back in early 92 & never looked back. When I heard charley for the 1st time, That was me hooked for life fella. Liam Howlett was a modern day Mozart for the pioneering he played to Make the prodigy a musical Heavyweight 💪😎👌🎧🎶
In 1992 I was 16. I wore my fathers suit to get into Ritzy nightclub in Bristol. The reason was that The Prodigy were doing a live PA promoting a few tracks of the The Prodigy Experience album. A few weeks earlier I had managed to get a one side white label copy of samples from this album and was surprised to see them in my local cheesy nightclub. They performed after a 90s chart medley and were followed by some shite R and B. Only a few of us knew the prodigy in the crowd, I was blown away by their presence and sound. I was a raver at heart and wasn’t shocked as such by this new music, I had heard similar at dreamscape but this was the beginning of the cross over from underground rave to mainstream charts. They performed death of the prodigy dancers and brought some dancers with them! I got covered in their sweat as I raved right next to the stage. I was there at the beginning and still loving this as I approach 50 years old. My children appreciate this music as this is what I raised the on, RIP Keith.
Approaching 50, dont say that cause I was 16 in 1992. 48 in 6 months time. Edit: after retreading my message, I'm not sure if I'm 47 or 48 this year. The years haven't been kind.
this was the moment the Prodigy moved from underground to mainstream and electronic punks cleared out Britpop, moving from niche electronic music to a span of appeal to so many genres. Long live the Prodigy.
I would say the release of: Firestarter was the song that got them into the mainstream. I was a kid back then, so if you're older than me then I would say you know better.
Music for the jilted generation is the best album I've ever bought. If they re-released it as an updated version, I'd defo buy it. When you listen all the way through, it's like a story, and I can't explain any better than that.
This entire album is perfect. All killer no filler. When I was throwing raves I always begged for the budget to book Prodigy and Underworld as the headliners...I typically got laughed at. Closest I was able to get was Cirrus and Rabbit in the Moon.
Fucking awesome remember when Keith had long hair . Then breakand entre great track and he came on stage in big plastic amster ball and punked right up yeah !!!!!! Always evolving with the time now they touching 50 still going strong .. 🐜⬇⬆🎧
id love to hear them coming up with this idea, "basically liam ive had this idea were i come out to the set in a massive ball, liam: yeah alright then".
